Lakshmivilas Rasa Tablet/Vati - Classical Ayurvedic Rasayana for Respiratory, Immune & Metabolic Balance

Lakshmivilas Rasa is a classical herbo-mineral formulation traditionally used for Kapha-Vata disorders, particularly those involving the respiratory system, immune system, and metabolic imbalance. Depending on classical references and manufacturer specifications, it may contain ingredients such as Shuddha Parad, Shuddha Gandhak, Vang Bhasma, Abhrak Bhasma, Tamra Bhasma, Karpur, Maricha, Pippali, Tankana, and selected Rasa-aushadhi yogas.

This variation in composition is normal, as different manufacturers follow different classical texts (Bhaishajya Ratnavali, Rasatarangini, Ayurved Saar Sangraha, etc.).

PRACTITIONER’S GUIDE (CLINICAL PERSPECTIVE)

Dosha-Based Indications

• Kapha Predominance: Chronic cough with sputum, bronchitis / congestion, sinusitis, tonsillitis, heaviness, slow metabolism
• Vata + Kapha : Asthma with wheezing, breathlessness, recurrent respiratory infections, allergic rhinitis with dryness + congestion
• Pitta + Kapha (if formula is mild): Throat inflammation, fever with mucus accumulation

(In strong, mineral-heavy variants—use carefully in Pitta conditions.)

Recommended Combinations (As per clinical requirement)

Ideal Patient Profile

• Heaviness, mucus accumulation, low appetite
• History of recurrent upper respiratory infections
• Cold-dominant cough, bronchitis, asthma
• Chronic rhinitis, sinus congestion
• Reduced metabolic fire (Mandagni)
• Lethargy, low immunity
• Long-standing Kapha disorders

Contraindications / Use With Care

• Pregnancy & breastfeeding
• Children (unless prescribed)
• Uncontrolled hypertension
• High Pitta disorders (ulcers, gastritis, burning)
• Liver or kidney compromise
• Hyperthyroidism (in some variants containing Tamra)

Practitioner Tip:

• Evaluate Agni and Ama before prescribing.
• Works best when given with Kapha-reducing diet and warm water intake.
• Avoid giving at night in Vata-predominant asthmatic individuals—prefer daytime dosing.
• When combining with other Rasaushadhi, maintain appropriate gap and monitor symptoms.
• Ensure the patient understands this is a short-term therapeutic intervention, not for habitual daily use.

Check Sensory Markers (Organoleptic Characteristics)

• Appearance: Brown to black tablets; uniform size; smooth or slightly rough texture
• Odor: Strong camphoraceous / herbal smell depending on Karpur
• Taste: Katu–Tikta–Lavanya with mild Karpur flavor
• Touch: Firm tablets, not crumbly
• Break Test: Should break cleanly without excessive powdering
